Careers advice

To find suitable work in Germany you must be proactive. Training takes place within the dual system for many occupations (particularly in the crafts and commercial spheres): This means that training is provided in-company (practical section) and in vocational schools (theory).

The careers information centres (BIZ) in the employment agencies offer a lot of information about the different professions in Germany, the tasks involved and the necessary qualifications. The staff at the employment agency will also provide you with advice and help you to find the right job or start an apprenticeship in Germany.

There are employment agencies all over Germany. You will need to find out which one is responsible for the region in which you live. You will find the website of the Federal Employment Agency useful when looking.
